There's been word that supposedly Lego are making sets based off the old 16th century Chinese novel, Journey Into The West. Apperantley the book it's actually quite popular in China.

If these do in fact become real and sell well, here's to hoping we can get some Greek Mythology-based Lego sets sometime down the road.
The closest we've gotten are the minifigures in pic related. Don't get me wrong these are pretty cool figures, but it would be cooler if they came out with full blown sets.
